| Time to see Hibiki going wild :O~ |
| Tbh i dont think Hibiki will die like we saw in the first episode. .. that was only an alternate ending of could have happend if kanade didnt use her swan song and save hibiki can the concert.. Thats my Teory, Some ppl are probably just gonna think im stupid. |
Hey,Nana, do you remember our first encounter? nee 、 nana ha 、 watashi tachi no saisho no deai oboe te？ ちょっと、ナナ、最初の出会いを覚えてますか? |

| Oh~ The Chief could be the next Bruce Lee :D |
| Remember Miku visiting Hibiki's grave at the first episode? I doubt Tsubasa will die. Hibiki will definitely die Edit: Chris reminds me of Kyouko from Madoka Magica |

| Chris nooooooooooo! Wry |

| This show is hilarious. Probably Hibiki and Tsubasa will sacrifice as well on next episode. |

Kvakond said: People want explanation and now they give it you. So what are you whining about?I'm trying to like this show, God can tell I really do, but when things like that conversation about coded DNA and destroying the moon occur, I can do nothing but facepalm. /sarcasm |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Damn that kyoko/Fine suit is glorious. And lol at the bulletproof boobs. Boobs that ignore the laws of physics, isn't that every man's dream? Anyway first Kanade and now Chris. Why is this show killing characters with the order we like them. |
| Destroying the Moon... wat. I don't even know anymore. A reference to the tower of Babel and Ryoko was behind all of it after all. Chris sacrificed herself to weaken the beam and now Hibiki will go rage mode again I'm sure. |
 |
| Fine: Moon, I hate you so I am going to destroy you. Moon: What is this I don't even... |

Electromaster said: So like, all this was cuz she wanted to blow up the moon? my thought too, especially when you consider that the moon being destroyed would cause tsunamis all over the globe and Japan would probably be toast... and the large amount of death from moon fragments falling to earth. |
| I don't have enough palms for a proper facepalm. *->Moon turns into Peragus<-* Oh god my sides. |

| This is terrible episode i am completely sadden by the turn of events. I cant believe she destroyed a piece of the moon! The moon will never be the same again 1/5 1/10 Dropped. |
| Ok come on! The first episode had me expecting Hibiki's death for so long all this time. I expect it next episode. No idea how this anime gonna end now. I skipped episodes 9-10 and watched only a little of this episode. |
DarthVantos said: This is terrible episode i am completely sadden by the turn of events. I cant believe she destroyed a piece of the moon! The moon will never be the same again 1/5 1/10 Dropped. ^3/10. Made me reply .____. Anyway, apart from the extremely poor animation quality and countless QUALITIES, it was average to the bone. Although that scream at the very end was pretty promising... I hope she'll get mad as she already did twice and for that cause I dedicate this song to Hibiki. 3.5/5 for this ep. Yep. |

| Mmmmhmmmmm |
 |
| so now chris imitates wing zero and has a dbz battle with a ground based ion cannon. fucking ridiculous and fucking ridiculously awesome. i dont see why there is so much hate for this show. jpop stars with pseudo mech armor fighting aliens and shit. entertainment. |
 |
| Aww man the best character had to die T_T. Anyways Chris swan song was totally awesome, its was badass with the giant cannons and beautiful with the laser-butterfly wings. Definitely the best swan song |
| Fine got tits of steel. Lol at Twin Buster rifle. |
 |
| Okay, I think that the only explanation for this entire anime is that it's a giant trollfest. As soon as Fine pointed at the moon and announced that her entire plan was to blow it up, I was finally able to stop taking this show seriously. I know it seemed really silly and out-of-place in this anime, but Fine's method of possession reminded me strongly of Ma'ar from the Valdemar books...which was pretty cool. But yeah, I guess I have to see this shit through to the end, but at least now I don't have to take it seriously any more :P |
| so kadingir is the Tower of Babel... o-O this episode was kind of lame :/ ...chris ;O;!! let's see how two? last episodes go, I don't think this will get any better though u.u |
 |
| I really lol'ed at Ryoko's 'I have this armor and yet I still use bitchslaps to hurt you'. Also, bullet-proof boobs. I want to have boobs like that.You'll never know when it gets useful. More schizophrenia, yay! I was right about the butterfly. ... Destroying the moon. Jeez, couldn't she just started working at NASA? Chris' rockets were awesome. Poor thing. I think her last part really showed how she really was on the inside. =( |

| Welp, this episode certainly mixed up a LOT of different feelings. tl;dr show is still bad, a guilty pleasure, and the best characters are the side-characters (hurr durr, NPC's). Elaboration time: The episode starts up brilliantly, with a really good escape scene. The only way it could hve been more bad ass would have been if that agents (whatever his name is) arm (or whatever) started to disintegrate because he got caught, and he chopped off the "infected" limb before it spread (setting it up beautifully for a ROBOT ARM OF DESTRUCTION later on). Don't ask me why I like this guy, that flip he did after whatever-her-name-is released him sold me. Anyways, forget that tangent. Once Genjuro appears, it's pretty certain badassry will be delivered, and he doesn't disappoint (until the end, anyways). The way he handles her is awesome, and the only possible downside I can think of, is the plothole it raises about why he can't just handle the whole noise situation by himself (he's a de-facto Chuck Norris). The fact that the only reason he loses is because of a silly mind-game proves that he can. Hell, he even says it himself: "I can stand up to noise, and you as well!". Damn it. Ok, let's not think about it. It quickly escalates into this scene:  By which point I'm basically getting ready for a sex change so I can have his kids. I haven't seen such a satisfying smackdown in quite a while. But then, he falls for the silly "pretend I'm still one of the good guys/I'm still in here somewhere" trick, which destroys all the awesome he generated in the first place. The moment he gets impaled I could feel my entire being crying out about how shitty the plot-writers are. 1) A guy of his caliber should expect this 2) even if he's naive, the way he's presented, as basically the best martial artist on the planet, should mean he's above a little mid-fight banter (also, talking is a free action, anyone? By the time she said that, her face should have been introduced to his fist). If the show just ended here, with him pummeling the shit out of her, I would have been one satisfied viewer indeed. Instead, after losing in a pitiful way he truly didn't deserve, this is quickly followed up by the darn annoying "it's like an anime!" scene - twice! That is truly unforgivable. And then, as a finisher, the plot is revealed to be about... destroying the moon. God, you're trying really hard to make me hate this show, aren't you? I guess I'll just raise a statue of Genjuro, holding her severed head high, and pretend the rest of the show doesn't exist. Edit: When I think about it, the show could turn out pretty awesome if they retcon it later (moon plot, hurr durr) and make Genjuro and his little agent side-kick the main characters after the "heroines" die (please get him that ROBOT ARM OF DESTRUCTION while you're at it, though. Thanks). |

| Chris is one tough and brave chick ;.; |
 |
| she's dead right? or should be after all that. too bad she was more likeable than the ANNOYING MAIN CHAR. that moon talk and possessing bodies was rather facepalm worthy. sigh... seemed predictable Ryoko was the bad guy after the last few eps. this show didn't turn out very good. |
 |
| I'm watching this because I'm a retard and hate dropping stuff in the first place. Since GetWet's subs are slow as hell I'll be switching subs. This show started with potential, but it failed so badly. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
HammersFan10 said: Z-flame said: I find it a little funny that people keep saying that this show is awful and a trainwreck, even though it's trainwreck on purpose and shouldn't be taken seriously. Oh here we go again, another person using that lame excuse. Unless it's a stupid comedy, like Tantei Opera Milky Holmes, it is not being made terrible on purpose. This just serves as an advertisement for the music that is featured throughout each episode. Looking at the production values, you can tell that a fair bit of effort went into making this show, the animators just didn't give a shit about making a decent story, they were only interested in shovelling out whatever became of their efforts in order to sell DVDs and CDs. I'm sorry, but not even the worst writer in the world would think that shooting a piece off the moon from an underground elevator shaft turned neo-Babel in the name of world peace makes sense. This show is so damn silly that it's obvious that the writers aren't taking it nearly as seriously as you are. Also, of course the animators don't care about making a decent story. That's why they're animators and not writers. Please don't blame random people who had nothing to do with the story. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Great episode. |
 |
| Ganjuro was so badass >___< Till he wavered to Ryouko's words. Man, she played dirty. Lol'd when miku got bitch-slapped by Ryouko. Chri's should've hit the ground abit more harder than that, i'm guessing she might still be alive? But can't wait for Hibiki to go berserk next episode >.< |
| Damn impressive development and what an ending! Really love this show, lets see what happens next but damn this sure is good! |
 |
| (rewatching) Ryoko has bullet-stopping boobs-of-steel. Commander: "I eat, watch movies, and sleep! A true man needs nothing else!" ... yea, he's awsome. Chris singing her swan song, gave me chills... so beautiful... and dang, that's a big gun! mmm beam-cannon... /drools (I'm talking about Chris's, not Kadingir.) |
  |
| No Chris you just became a friend ;_; Also I feel that they rushed Sakurai becoming the evil person but besides that and Chris' death this episode was pretty cool! Also commander Kanzanari is the definition of a boss :p |

| Damn, that was a good way to start an episode. That soldier died right in front tof those girls. Ogawa shot Ryouko's boobs and there was no effect. Man, Genjuurou was so awesome this episode! So glad that Genjuurou didn't die. I was worried for a second. Also why is the moon red? It feels out of place. NO! Chris! ;_; Great episode! |
| Wow! What a episode :( Finally Ryouko is Fine. At least we got some backstory from her and how the original Ryouko's was controlled by the goddess Fine. Damn Kazanari was kicking Ryouko's ass, but she made a cheap way to waver his attack and went in for the stabbed instead. Their probably lovers or used to like she's talking about in the last episode. Fights were amazing and definitely the best so far. WTF why did Chris died!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No way she would die!! She can still be alive like when Kanade sang her swan song, but lived after a miracle. Last two episodes. Can't wait for the next episode!!! |

Genjuro is awesome, the only reason they injured him is because otherwise he would have punched that tower and bring it down by himself. :p |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| Nooooo..... Chris-chan really exits? |
 |
| Chris' heroic sacrifice was effective, very sad, and beautiful, pure artistic genius nice use of those bits to stop the cannon. Hopefully we won't get a Ideon or Zeta/Victory Gundam style ending with this, if so I'll drop the score greatly. |
| |
| This show is hilarious. Probably Hibiki and Tsubasa will sacrifice as well on next episode. |
| |
| It's pretty ridiculous that Chris wasn't just entirely vaporized by that ion beam or whatever. I mean, that shit knocked a chunk out of the moon, which is about a quarter of the size of Earth, but you're telling me that her body was able to be enveloped by this blast and come out intact, with her just bleeding from the mouth? I bet she's not even dead. Not really surprised though, lots of anime have characters who *just barely* manage to survive the enemy's final, most powerful and destructive attack, and then like 2 episodes later they're fine. It's just something that annoys me, it makes it feel like there's not that much at stake in these battles. |
